Obama Ratings Lag in Battleground States

A new NPR Poll finds that “in the key battleground states that will decide control of the Senate this November, President Obama’s approval numbers are lower than they are nationally – but not much lower.”

“In the 12 states with competitive Senate races this fall, only 38 percent of likely voters said they approved of the way the president is handling his job. An index of all national polls shows the president’s approval rating about four percentage points higher nationwide.”
